Default Vertex IN 280 In-Sump Skimmer Broken Pump CALGARY

My pump just stopped working not sure what is wrong with it but
I couldn't manage to fix it so I bought a new skimmer. This skimmer has worked wonders for 3 years has no cracks and is clean. I am looking for 40$. You can also have the pump and try to fix it if your handy.

Send me an email or text message:

Thanks,

Devan

That is a darn good skimmer. Takes a lot of space, though. I have one, and it works well with my 230g. Works with many pumps. That one looks like a Sedra (different than mine). Could be a swollen impeller (easily replaced) which does happen with those.

In any case, very good deal for someone. Good luck with your sale.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

I too have this skimmer, works good when it's working. Not sure why, but my motor (different than yours too) won't re-start after it's disconnected from power. I have to stick something in the in port and manually spin it to get it going.

Great deal on a good skimmer.

Might be a swollen impeller, too, or just need a good cleaning.
